Autel MaxiIM IM508 Functions:
1. Professional Key Programmer
Autel MaxiIM IM508 is a professional car diagnostic scanner that provides extraordinary service functions for the immobilizer system, including: immobilizer system status, key learning, key add, all keys lost, remote control learning, remote control add, chip read and write. It’ s a professional solution for car keys and remote controls and prevents your car from being stolen!
Smart Mode– accesses to a function menu where each function is configured as a smart guidesystem.
Expert Mode– accesses to a function menu where each function is separated from each other.
1) Read PIN / CS (All Key Lost)
2) Key Generation
3) Key Learning
4) Remote Learning
5) Backup / Restore IMMO Data
6) IMMO ECU Reset / Adaptation
7) IMMO ECU Refresh / Coding
8) BMW FEM / BDC Key Learning and ECU Adaptation
9) VW / AUDI MQB Key Learning, 48 Transponder (96-bit) Add Key, All Key Lost, A6 All Key Lost, and More
IMMO:
The IMMO application requires a data link to the IMMO electronic control system of the test vehicle for diagnosis via OBD II connection. The application retrieves vehicle IMMO information and performs IMMO related functions, including Key Learning, Remote Control Learning, Remote Control Add, etc
2. XP200 KEY & CHIP PROGRAMMER:
The XP200 is specially designed to read Volkswagen vehicle key chip data, clone and generate exclusive keys, read/write on-board EEPROM data, and read/write Freescale 9S12 MCUs. By working with diagnostic tool and PC that are both loaded with programmer software, the XP200 can read/write key chip data quickly and accurately.
1) Key Read / Write
2) EEPROM / MCU Read / Write
3. OE-Level All Systems Diagnosis for 80+ Vehicle Makes:
Autel IM508 Car Scanner can perform OE-Level diagnosis on all car electronic systems like ABS, SRS, Engine, Transmission and etc and show live data of multiple sensors. It is compatible with more than 80 American, Asian and European makes and models.
1) All Systems Diagnostics
2) AutoVIN / AutoScan
3) Read / Erase Codes
4) View, Record, Playback Live Data
5) View Freeze Frame Data

4. Most Commonly Used Reset Services:
Oil Rest Service: This function allows you to perform reset for the Engine Oil Life system, which calculates an optimal oil life change interval depending on the vehicle driving conditions and climate. The Oil Life Reminder must be reset every time the oil is changed, so the system can calculate when the next oil change is required.
EPB Service: This function has a multitude of usages to maintain the electronic braking system safely and effectively. The applications include deactivating and activating the brake control system, assisting with brake fluid control, opening and closing brake pads, and setting brakes after disc or pad replacement, etc.
SAS Service: Steering Angle Sensor Calibration permanently stores the current steering wheel position as the straight-ahead position in the steering angle sensor EEPROM. Therefore, the front wheels and the steering wheel must be set exactly to the straight-ahead position before calibration.
TPMS Service: This function allows you to quickly look up the tire sensor IDs from the vehicle’s ECU, as well as to perform TPMS replacement and sensor test.
BMS Service: The BMS (Battery Management System) allows the scan tool to evaluate the battery charge state, monitor the close-circuit current, register the battery replacement, and activate the rest state of the vehicle.
DPF Service: This function is used to manage DPF regeneration, DPF component replacement teach-in and DPF teach-in after replacing the engine control unit.
5. Auto Scan Technology:
The Autel IM508 professional OBD2 scanner comes with Auto Scan function that performs a comprehensive scanning over all the ECUs in the vehicle to locate systems’ faults and retrieve DTCs for efficient diagnosis.
6. Live Data & Review Freeze Frame Data:
The IM508 car diagnostic scanner reads codes, show live data of multiple sensors in or graph or text, clears codes. The Review Data section allows you to playback the recorded data frames of live data streams.
